Podophilia: Sexual Interest or Obsession in Feet
An Overview:

Podophilia is a branch of fetishism that involves feet or footwear. It is a disorder in which a person gets sexually aroused by feet or anything concerning feet. This disorder is found mostly in men and can be mild, moderate, or severe in which a person may need serious treatment. Symptoms of Podophilia include but are not limited to having repeated sexually arousing fantasies, behaviors, and urges that involve lifeless objects such as feet or shoes. A foot fetishist is usually aroused by seeing, touching, smelling, and kissing the feet or toes of another person or by having someone else carry out these actions on them. Foot fetishism, also known as Podophilia, was believed to be a genetic disorder but was actually discovered to cultivate during a person’s sexual development. An individual with this disorder can face an excessive amount of distress and may face social or personal dysfunction if the disorder is severe. However, not all individuals with a foot fetish need treatment. If an individual accepts the fact that they have this disorder, no treatment is necessary.
